When will F1 Bahrain pre-season testing take place?
The introduction of the new regulations means there will be a robust schedule for three individual test events before the start of the 2026 season.
With Barcelona’s overhaul completed in January, this will be followed by two tests in Bahrain this week on February 11-13 and February 18-20.
When is your first F1 race?
The team will then have two weeks to prepare for the season opener, the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne from March 6-8.
The first practice session of the season will be held on Friday 6 March, with qualifying taking place on Saturday 7 March and the opening race on Sunday 8 March.
